Have you been able to follow the thought pattern of the republican congress/senators and their pundits? It boggles the mind, their complete and utter lack of historical and political knowledge. After the State of the Union Address the President and his agenda were referred as akin to Nazi Germany, a Monarchy (King Obama) and socialism. Do make up your minds oh wet limp sacks of tea! Nazi's were and are, Fascists. Kings belong to a group known as Imperialists and Socialists are anti both of those. Fascists love complete control, like dictating what form of religion is to be practised, birthing and birth control, what is and is not allowed to be taught. Fascists hate freedom of choice. Imperialists think they are special chosen by a god people destined to rule the world.(insert pic. of T. Cruz, D. Trump.) Fascists like very much to use Imperialists as a means to their end. Socialists are quite different than these. Socialists believe that no one's labor is more valuable than anyone elses. Fascism and Imperialism are forms of capitalism, however they are quite different from democratic capitalism*. With the F. & I. forms the top percentile(1%) reap the full benefit from the labor of the lower class. Within the democratic form of capitalism the top keeps more but not necessarily the lion's share of profit, and reinvests more back into the company than they themselves keep (as opposed to sitting on capital). This is a long term conservative investment for the future. This is not only an intelligent, but practical way of structuring a business for long term viability.
Now back to the preamble; why are these congressmen and congresswomen so ill informed about political history that they make such imbecilic statements? Simply put they have been purchased equally as much for their egos, charisma and looks as for their naivety. They haven't figured that out yet, but they will after they realise the money train no longer needs them. Of course by then they themselves will have become a part of the disposable population that they had been vilifying, you know the lazy unemployed moochers.
*for the purpose of this article democratic capitalism refers to a model in which both the owner and workforce have a voice in the day-to-day operations.
did i piss you off? I will.
